Sunshine

As the sun shines, the roadway beckons from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe A roadway full of turns and little traffic at night. Beauty is a drive in a fine grand touring car with only the moonlight as you constant companion.

Ferrari Miami Vice

Reading the winkipedia description of Miami Vice ... Great to see the perennial pride and integrity that Enzo showed by providing two (2) new 1986 Ferrari Testarissa (White) cars to the TV Series. The exposure was great and added mystery to the brand identity. Wish more motor car manufactures would consider product placement as an honor versus a BRANDING exercise.

Ferrari

In the world of SuperCars, there are few like the Ferrari brand.

When one goes by its unmistakable the sound (tuned intake/exhaust) and beauty (style) of one of the most classical grand touring cars on the planet.

I am always in awe that such a car exists today with the promise of the future even more

Ferrari

Surprised to read that Sir Eric Clapton loves Ferrari and the sound of a TesstaRossa 12 cylinder engine.

He knows the best when he hears and sees it

TesstaRossa

REDHEAD
The best of Ferrari is always the twelve cylinders with the RED valve covers are very distinctive.

To me, the Ferrari always brings to mind a beautifully deigned automobile with the drivers view the only way to be in a Ferrari and view the landscape of the road "at speed".

My one ride in a Ferrari (1970s DINO) will always be remembered for the thrill of the ride and how quick the vehicle was and the way it was glued to the roadway.

Ferrari as Art or an Automobile

I am attracted to Ferrari motor cars based upon their design and function as Grand Touring vehicles.

I love the old Ferrari commercials where Enzo himself drives through a mountain road, stops the car and talks directly into the camera" I build my cars to be driven".

I really believe that Ferrari's are meant to be driven as pure enjoyment for the driver and passenger with a mild stroke towards their performance maximums.

While I love Ferarri's, I really think owning one or more would be great with access to a race track where you could buckle up, safety harness, helmet, racing suite and technical inspection and proceed to move towards the car and your personal driving edge.
